The "Sage o[ Snoqualmie" Cuts Loose Again

In the hanclsome crtrrent numlter of "Weyerhaeuser Nelvs," published at St. Paul by the \\reyerhaeuser Sales Company and edited by Ray Saberson, appears another column of the picturesque and philosophical remarks of Art Benson, of the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company. Under the title "Jottir.rgs from the notebook of 'Sage of Snoclualmie'" appears trvo columns, from which are filched the Iollo'n'ing paragraphs, well worth the reading:

"Whoever it u'as rvho first said 'great minds run in the same channels' must have been studying the rvedding presents.

"The hardest job for a present day small child to face is learning good manners rvithout ever seeing any.

"In ottr present postwar world mankind still delights in carrving on a rvar in rvhich everybody shoots from thc lip.

"l,ife in the countrv is u'hat you make it; in the city it's rvhat you make.

"\\/orrv is a state of mind that leads some persons fear that er.ery time the tide goes out it rvon't come again.

"li the price of automobiles has upped considerablv since preu'ar times, it is not too disturbing. Every person rri.e knou' rvas planning to buy a more expensive car, anyway.

"One of the reasons rvhy English is fast becoming the universal language is the fact that it's easier to say 'gimme' in English than in any other language.

"The girls shoulcl l;e given a lot of credit for putting into matrimony sound business principles. A careful bathing suit investment has ke1>t many a lass in fur coats for life.

"Tempation and tramps are similar. Treat tl.rem kindly and the-v return, bringing others with thern."
